How to play
Before you start: Gather five small objects from around the room onto a tray.
Let them study the tray for ten seconds.
Cover it and take one object away.
Uncover it: what is missing?
Make it harder — swap two objects around instead of removing one.
Let them set the tray and catch you out.
What it helps with
Make it different next time
- Add objects rather than removing them.
- Go up to eight objects for older children.
Cleanup: Everything goes back where it came from.
